The richest man's parents were kidnapped, and his adorable son captivated the entire family.

Xie Family Guest Room

Soft light casts a warm glow.

Mengmeng hugged the headmistress, resting her head on her shoulder.

Her chubby little face was full of affection and contentment.

"Grandma, it feels so good to hug you,"

Mengmeng's voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of coquetry, "I haven't slept with Grandma in a long time."

Grandma Dean gently patted Mengmeng's back, her eyes full of love.

"Mengmeng, Grandma misses you too."

Have you been having a good time these days?

Mengmeng raised her head, her eyes bright.

"I'm so happy! Mengmeng now has a mom and dad, older brothers and uncles, and lots of good friends!"

Everyone is so incredibly kind to Mengmeng, I feel so happy right now!

As the headmistress listened, her eyes welled up with tears.

She hugged Mengmeng tightly, feeling happy and relieved for her.

"My Mengmeng is so well-behaved and smart, of course everyone will like her."

The little girl wrapped her arms around her grandma's neck and rubbed her face against her grandma's cheek.

"Grandma, may you always be happy!"

How about Mengmeng goes with Grandma to watch the flag-raising ceremony tomorrow?

I remember this was something Grandma always wanted to do!

The headmistress was stunned for a moment.

He then smiled with a loving expression, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Okay, Grandma has been looking forward to this day."

"Let's go together tomorrow, and Grandma can finally fulfill this wish with Mengmeng."

Mengmeng nodded, smiling like a little flower.

"Then it's settled, we'll get up early tomorrow!"

The headmistress looked at the tiny child in her arms and couldn't help but kiss her forehead.

In a gentle tone, she said, "Yes, it's settled."

That night, Mengmeng clung tightly to the headmistress and slept peacefully.

Grandma Dean looked at Mengmeng's peaceful sleeping face and was filled with emotion.

This poor child, abandoned outside the orphanage, finally found happiness and warmth.

Seeing the Gu, Lu, and Xie families so firmly supporting and liking Mengmeng, the dean's eyes welled up with tears.

At dawn, just as the sky was beginning to lighten,

The Gu family's car was already parked at the door.

Gu Shiyu and Lu Rongsheng stood by the car, patiently waiting for Mengmeng and the Dean's grandmother.

Mengmeng ran downstairs with her little backpack on her back, her face full of excited smiles.

"Brother, Brother Lu, can we set off now?"

"Alright, you lazybones, get on the bus!"

Gu Shiyu gently patted her head, his tone filled with affection.

Just then, Mengmeng suddenly stopped in her tracks.

He looked around, a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

"By the way, where's Xiaobai? Brothers, have you seen Xiaobai?"

It's been gone since last night..."

Gu Shiyu was taken aback. "He's probably sleeping in late in his room. It's fine if Xiaobai doesn't go."

Mengmeng's eyes widened, tears welling up, her voice filled with anxiety: "Brother, Xiaobai won't be away from me for that long...something might have happened to it!"

She tugged at Gu Shiyu's sleeve, her voice soft yet urgent, "Brother, please help me find Xiaobai, okay?"

Seeing her red eyes, Gu Shiyu felt extremely distressed.

He immediately bent down and patted her head, his tone gentle yet firm.

"Don't worry, Mengmeng, your brother will help you look for it."

Lu Rongsheng also gently comforted her, "Mengmeng, don't cry, Xiaobai will definitely be alright."

With the comforting words of her two older brothers, Mengmeng's emotions calmed down a bit.

finally,

Mengmeng found a little white fox curled up in a ball under a big tree in the backyard.

Little White's whole body was stiff, and the fur on its tail was covered with frost. The whole fox looked like it was about to freeze.

"noob!"

Mengmeng rushed over, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She carefully held Little White in her arms, her eyes filled with heartache.

"Xiaobai, what's wrong? What happened? Waaaaaah..."

Gu Shiyu frowned when he saw Xiaobai's condition.

"Mengmeng, let's quickly take Xiaobai to get a hot bath, maybe we can still save him."

Mengmeng wiped away her tears and quickly took out some spiritual spring water from her spatial storage to feed Xiaobai.

Under the miraculous effects of the spiritual spring water,

Little White's body quickly regained its warmth, and its fur became soft again.

It opened its eyes and made a weak squeaking sound.

"Xiaobai, you're awake!"

Mengmeng's eyes lit up, and she lowered her head to rub against its soft fur.

Her voice was filled with affection and joy, "Little White, you scared me to death, boohoo!"

Mengmeng gently stroked it, her tone both angry and anxious.

"Little White, what are you doing here? What happened?"

Little White nuzzled her cheek with its head, making a soft whimper.

He told Mengmeng about meeting the purple-robed Taoist under the big tree last night.

It told Mengmeng that the Taoist priest had ill intentions and that she must be careful.

Mengmeng nervously gripped Xiaobai's paw tightly. "Okay, Xiaobai, I'll be careful."

"Then you should stay home and rest today. I promised Grandma I'd take her sightseeing in Beijing, and I can't go back on my word!"

Little White flicked its tail and squeaked stubbornly:

"No, Mengmeng! I want to stay with you, I want to protect you!"

It jumped right into Mengmeng's backpack, peeking out its fluffy little head.

Mengmeng sighed, helpless.

"Okay, then you have to be a good boy/girl."

Little White nodded obediently, its bright eyes scanning its surroundings, sensing for any potential danger...

---

When they arrived, the square was already packed with people.

A solemn atmosphere permeated the air.

"Grandma, there are so many people!"

Mengmeng tilted her head back, her bright eyes filled with curiosity and excitement.

"The flagpole is so tall! It will be so beautiful when the flag is raised later!"

Grandma Dean couldn't help but smile as she looked at Mengmeng's innocent and adorable appearance.

"Yes, Grandma is especially happy to be able to watch the flag-raising ceremony with Mengmeng."

Lu Rongsheng stood to the side, taking pictures of the two of them with a camera.

"Grandma Dean, Mengmeng, look at the camera."

Mengmeng immediately stood up straight, held the headmistress's hand, and showed a bright smile.

Gu Shiyu, meanwhile, quietly stood to the side with his phone in hand.

I pressed the shutter button very quickly and secretly took a few photos.

When Mengmeng ran to his side, she spotted her image on her brother's phone screen.

"Brother! You took a picture of me without my permission! Let me see!"

Gu Shiyu held his phone high, preventing her from succeeding.

"No! You saw it wrong!"

Mengmeng persisted, hopping and skipping as she reached out to grab it, pleading, "Brother is the best! Let me see him! Just one glimpse, okay?"

Gu Shiyu sighed helplessly, lowered his head, unlocked his phone, and handed it to her.

"Just take a look."

Mengmeng took the phone, her eyes shining as she flipped through the photo album.

Suddenly, she stopped what she was doing, covered her mouth, and chuckled.

"Brother, your screen saver..."

She looked up, her eyes gleaming mischievously. "It's a photo of me and Xiaobai!"

Gu Shiyu's face stiffened, and he subconsciously snatched the phone back, his voice carrying a hint of unease.

Mengmeng shook his arm, laughing so hard she couldn't stand up straight, "Brother's shy!!"

"No, you saw it wrong."

Gu Shiyu turned his head away uncomfortably, but a smile quietly crept onto his lips.

The ceremony ended, and the crowd slowly dispersed.

Gu Shiyu held Mengmeng's little hand and lowered his head to instruct, "Hold on tight to me, don't let go, okay?"

Mengmeng nodded in her sweet, childlike voice.

"Okay, brother, don't worry, I'll be a good boy and follow you~~"

Her small hand gripped Gu Shiyu's hand tightly, clinging to him like a little bird.

However, after taking only a few steps, the crowd suddenly surged.

Many people pushed and shoved their way toward the exit.

Gu Shiyu staggered from the sudden impact, and his grip on Mengmeng's little hand slipped away instantly.

My palms felt empty.

Gu Shiyu turned around abruptly, but Mengmeng was no longer beside him.

"Mengmeng!"

His face suddenly darkened, and he frantically searched through the crowd.

His tone carried a hint of suppressed tension.

"Mengmeng! Where are you?!"

Surrounded by a surging crowd, the adorable little figure had long been swallowed up.

Gu Shiyu forced himself to calm down and quickly contacted Xie Beiling.

The capital city is under Uncle Ling's control. If we ask him to help find Mengmeng, we should have news soon.

After hanging up the phone,

Gu Shiyu and Lu Rongsheng immediately arranged for the security teams of the Gu and Lu families to search through the crowd.

Standing in the middle of the crowd, Gu Shiyu clenched his fists tightly, his face terribly gloomy.

His heart was pounding.

The image of Mengmeng calling out "brother" in her sweet, childlike voice kept flashing through my mind.

The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became.

"Mengmeng, don't be afraid, your brother will definitely find you."

His voice was low, filled with deep self-reproach and determination.

--

The open grassland was completely silent.

The Purple Sun Taoist was dressed in a purple Taoist robe, his face stern.

With a flick of his sleeve, Mengmeng's petite figure rolled out of his sleeve and onto the ground.

"Well……"

Mengmeng fell onto the grass and groggily opened her eyes.

The little white fox also darted out.

Upon seeing the Taoist Master Ziyang, its fur stood on end, and its eyes were filled with terror.

"Mengmeng! Run!"

"He's that strange Taoist priest! I'll hold him off!"

Seeing Xiaobai's nervous expression,

Mengmeng felt a warmth in her heart and gently stroked its head.

"Little White, I won't leave. I won't abandon you."

She looked up and stared directly at Daoist Ziyang, her youthful voice carrying a hint of courage.

"Who are you? Why are you arresting me?"

Master Ziyang sneered, his tone filled with disdain.

"Little girl, how dare you question me?"

What I want is the Kunlun Divine Stone Flower in your hand.

"If you hand it over obediently, I won't hurt you."

Mengmeng was stunned for a moment.

Then I remembered what His Majesty had said: the Kunlun Divine Stone Flower must not fall into the hands of evil people.

Otherwise, it will cause a great disaster for the world!

She looked up at the Taoist Master Ziyang, her small brows furrowed.

That Taoist priest who kidnapped her is already a bad person! Don't trust him!

She puffed out her little chest angrily, her voice, though still childish, carrying a firm tone.

"I will never give you the divine flower! You're a bad person!"

Master Ziyang's face darkened, and he sneered, "You ignorant little brat!!"

He raised the Five Elements Command Flag in his hand.

Instantly, a magic array was summoned, freezing Mengmeng in place.

Mengmeng suddenly felt a wave of numbness throughout her body and was unable to move.

"Let me go! You bad guy!"

Mengmeng gritted her teeth, her eyes reddening with anger.

Master Ziyang gave a cold laugh.

With another flick of the whisk, it pointed directly at Mengmeng's head.

A hint of fanaticism lingered in his voice, "Since you refuse to hand it over, I'll take it myself!"

Mengmeng felt a strong suction force coming from above her head.

It felt as if something was being forcibly pulled out of my body.

A sharp pain surged up instantly.

Mengmeng's face turned deathly pale, and cold sweat slid down her forehead.

She gritted her teeth, tears welling in her eyes, but stubbornly refused to cry out.

"Ugh... Don't even think about it!"

Her gaze remained resolute. "The divine flower cannot be given to you! I absolutely cannot let you do bad things!"

Master Ziyang paused, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Hmph! Little girl, you do have some backbone."

However, I'm determined to get my hands on this divine flower today! You can't stop me!

Mengmeng struggled in pain, tears streaming down her face...
